CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reported that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has not spoken directly to Oda since the uproar over her expenses began.

There is also speculation that a cabinet shuffle will be coming before the House of Commons breaks for summer.

Not the cone of silence! This is supposed to impress us. Shouldn't a leader be speaking to one of his ministers in such a situation?

As for the cabinet shuffle, let's just call it for what it is. It's the weak mark of a leader who cannot implement effective accountability. Oda should have been gone long ago given her "not" transgression and the limo rides that have been racked up in the past. No wonder they don't change their behaviour, there's no accountability.
